Major League Baseball made its debut in West Sacramento with the A's hosting the Cubs, marking a historic moment in the city's sports history. Players expressed mixed feelings about playing in the temporary venue, which underwent significant renovations to accommodate MLB games. The 14,000-seat Sutter Health Park features new infrastructure to support daily play, though players noted the unusual setup of the team facilities. The A's are set to call this place home for three years before moving to Las Vegas, leading to an atmosphere filled with excitement and uncertainty.
It feels different in a lot of ways. Different location. Obviously a different setting. But it feels the same too. Butterflies are there, excitement is there.
The 14,000-seat stadium received a makeover in preparation for the A's temporary stay, including drainage and irrigation systems to help the playing surface hold up to near-daily action.
